It's a pity you didn't go to any decent schools then... Seriously - look
up what the theory says, you know, educate yourself.

Because you had BAD teachers and went to BAD schools does not change
what the ToE claims. Sorry about that...


The theory has evolved, pun intended, since I went to school. If they
have twisted it to make it more palatable nowadays

Nice try. The ToE has never, since Darwin came up with it, claimed
to involve how the first lifeform appeared. It has nothing to do
with "palatability" BTW - it just doesn't concern itself with that.

He knows, because everybody here has told him.

He also knows that it is nothing to do with atheism or vice versa.

And that even in the USA with its third world education system,
something approaching an order of magnitude more Chrisitians than
atheists accept evolution as the scientific fact it is.

It's only creationists and other fundamentalists who don't.

And instead of keeping quiet about it, they look for people who
aren't, to rudely and stupidly impose their deliberate ignorance.

A relevant Doonesbury cartoon:

Gravitational theory involves masses interacting - it says NOTHING
(makes NO claims) about how the masses came about. It's out of the
scope of gravitational theory.
How life began is out of the scope of the ToE... whether your poor
teachers tried to convince you of the contrary or not. It's about
how life evolves, not how it appears in the first place.

I doubt they did. He sounds like a typical home-schooled fundy
ignoramus.

Face it, he uses Kent Hovind as an authority.
